Our family normally eats a lot of chicken, in many different forms and variations- this particular meal has made it into the rotation over half dozen times in the last few months!

Very delicious, filling, and turns out tender and perfect every time.

Pure comfort food at its best, I knew I was going to love this chicken when I was throwing it together the first time, but I was surprised by just how perfect it was- smothered in pure deliciousness!

A low carb casserole that makes the whole family happy? Yes, please!

Remember, when making chicken, cooking time can also vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts that you’re using– the thicker the breasts, the longer they will need to cook if you’re baking them.
Using a meat thermometer comes in handy for many dishes, i always have one on hand when I cook meats just to check that the internal temperature of the cooked chicken reaches 165F!

It not only looks divine but its most definitely worthy of being served in 5 star restaurant any day!
